"I think i'll go to France this summer...see dad."She keeps writing.

"Really you're dads in France and mom in England." She said interested.

"yep. Mum and Dad split when i started junior high..."

"Oh..." She looked around again. She saw a book that caught her eye. 'The Raven By Edgar Allen Poe'

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. " 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door; Only this, and nothing more." Bea says.

That's from The Raven." Lexi replies.

"Yes...I have it memorized."Bea smiles

"Wow." Lexi giggled. "Your pretty smart!"

"naw just a sponge. Mum calls me that because I can read something a usually quote it with minimal mistakes."

Lexi laughed, "A sponge?" She asked.

"yea... you know...It soaks up stuff..."

"Sorry I have a habit of laughing at things that aren't funny to other people." She said.

"no its funny...I just thought you didn't understand"

"Oh..." She said still smiling.

Bea continues her writing.

Lexi gets up to get the book. She opens it and starts to read. "Dark." Lexi mutters to herself.

Bea looks up.

"Sorry if I distracted you" She said looking at Bea. (Good morning!!)

"No its ok...."She smiles. (morning!)

"Okay!" She said smiling brightly.

Bea gets up and stretches "I see London, I see France, I see Bea's little underpants..."A boy peeks out from a book shelf "ZANE!"bea drops into her seat.

Lexi giggles.

Zane walks out from the book shelf "Chill bea chill..."He smiles, bobbing his head a little "Sup new kid?"

"Hi, I'm Lexi!" She said brightly.

"Im zane." He offers his hand "DJ extraordinaire "He smiles.

"Cool!" She shakes his hand. "I don't really have a talent?"

"we all got talent chicky..."He shakes his head. Bea rolls her eyes.

"Whats wrong Bea? You seem annoyed?" Lexi asked.

"I bother her, but what you do with out me"He hugs bea.

Lexi laughs. "You know how to pick locks?" Lexi asked.
